Montgomery County authorities have arrested John David Hoke, a 36-year-old former Conroe ISD teacher, on a new felony charge of Injury to a Child. Hoke was taken into custody on Wednesday, May 29th, marking his second felony arrest this year.
The new charge stems from an incident that reportedly occurred earlier in May. While Hoke's previous arrest involved a student, this latest accusation pertains to a victim described as a child under 15 years old. Following his arrest, a judge set Hoke's bond at $50,000. As of Thursday, May 30th, John David Hoke remains in the Montgomery County Jail for this latest felony charge. For additional details regarding arrests in Montgomery County, information can be accessed through the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office online records.
Hoke was initially arrested in January 2024 for the felony sexual abuse of a student. That original case involved a 17-year-old female student from Caney Creek High School, where Hoke had been teaching. Conroe ISD confirmed his employment was terminated in January following the initial arrest. On January 23rd, Hoke posted a $100,000 bond for the sexual abuse charge and was subsequently released. Information on school district policies and faculty status can often be found on the Conroe ISD website.
This marks a significant development in the ongoing legal challenges facing the former educator.
